You are correct and I have been saying for a long while that there are so many settings (not only in the player but elsewhere too) that it is near impossible to find an optimal setting for all kinds of music and hradware. Those who buy several 'optimisation' programs and use them on top of each other actaully end up not knowing what has been done to their opertaing system and audio drivers.

If you are using xmos uab software in a pc system, you are running with a usb processor buffer size which has been set as 'safe' by xmos. However, if you are lucky to have a device with Theyscon drivers, then you will find that settings in the usb CPL affects SQ signficantly as well.

And so I maintain that there is no such thing as audio optimisation that applies scross software and hardware platforms. Fiddling to ones satisfaction by ear is really the terminology to be used!
